\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
It is always a struggle to summarize the progress at WCRC and AVANI in Kolhapur–there is simply no way to capture all that goes on between the months that we see with our own eyes. \u00a0 Here\u2019s a brief snapshot of the daily goings-on within this most important organization. \u00a0Their news is a reminder of just how much there is yet to do out there and how much MORE of their work we need in the world.\u00a0 Thank you for being a partner…<\/span><\/div>\n

WCRC\u2019s outrage over the Delhi Rape Case:<\/span><\/div>\n
Anurahda and her women\u2019s representatives have long been fighting, many times at the risk of their own imprisonment, against the atrocities that continue to face girls and women in India<\/span>.\u00a0 The horrific events that transpired in December in Delhi prompted a\u00a0WCRC organized protest with\u00a0322 peo<\/span>ple from different women\u2019s groups c<\/span>oming together for the march. \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

A Need for Night Facility & Shelter for Women:<\/span><\/div>\n
Not a week goes by without abandoned women knocking on Anrudha’s door in need of shelter (her home doubles as the WCRC office). \u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
In Anuradha’s words this week in an email to us…<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
“Many women come to us for shelter but it is painful we have to\u00a0send them back (no place to house them). I sometimes feel until government gives us place we should find rented place for them and provide them rehablitation feclities by giving them some jobs. I really want to do it as soon as possible. Today morning one women came to WCRC for asking some help, she was abonded by her husband and has one girl child. Her parents did want to accept her back and husband threw her out. \u00a0I struggled whole day to find place for her to sleep today night in my friends house.”<\/span><\/div>\n

GoPhil will be exploring how we assist with the project in the coming months.<\/span><\/div>\n
